The Best Total-Body Exercise

If we were stuck on a desert island with no gym, kettlebell, or TRX in site, the burpee would be our go-to exercise. You don't need any equipment—or much space—and it tones the entire body while speeding fat loss. (Because if we're going to be recused in a bikini, might as well look fabulous in it—very important, we know.)

We're not alone in our adoration of this move—it's one of every trainer's favorite moves, too. "It's not only a strength move, but it challenges you cardiovascularly, so it also helps burn fat," explains fitness expert Larysa DiDio. Combining cardiovascular and strength training in a single move gives you double the benefits in half the time. And since the burpee uses the muscles in your legs, core, and upper body, you'll slim down even quicker.
